In my opinion these are two different shots from different angle of view. Have a look at the upper right corner, and also to the number under the cockpit.
In the grey version, you can clearlyy see the 9 and something like a 2 or 3. In the mimetic version, you can see only a part of 9 and another number that it is not a 2 or 3.
BTW, if it's a fake, it is very well done.

I agree with Bismark. Two different shots . . . and very well PS'ed.

they both look real to me, however i have one issue with the camo one's roundels. they do appear to be a pasted on in some ways. and they look computer made

Simply compare the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer, in relation to the background, between the two, and the flap of the right wing between the two and the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer. Clearly two separate photos. Was one or the other PS'd, don't know, can't even begin to guess!

Two different photos from slightly different angles of the same aircraft, IMO.
The camo is a very good photoshop job, but what gives it away to me are the roundels and the bit of serial number just forward of the intakes, they all stand out like dogs' balls. Obviously they haven't heard the golden rule of FS repainting... never use 255,255,255 for white, or 0,0,0 for black!
If anyone still had any doubt after seeing those, compare the dirt smear coming out from the leading edge slat, and the pattern of dirt spots on the wings - identical. Definitely the same aircraft.

Must've taken a while to do that camo though

What was the point of this fake??? It looks real enough at a glance. A good job I'd say.
